Abstract
A highly sensitive Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) interferometer coupled with nested fiber ring resonators is theoretically demonstrated. The experimental results show that the sensitivity of the interferometer is significantly enhanced by strong dispersive response of resonators and reach its maximum value at resonance, which agree well with theoretical predictions.
